At least have had two seasons, I advise my puppy owners to wait till after 18 months, preferably 2 years of age. That way their hormones have settled and they have grown up with the benefit of them.

I totally agree with what Tawnywolf has written. Although I can well understand the reason why so many vets and rescues advise juvenile spaying, I am convinced that those hormones are vital for full skeletal and muscular development.
